Yeah I'll at least pretty much go with that.
What do I think about honest truth? Well I just think it's important really. What can I say?
I care mostly about two things when it comes down to it: The Truth and Empathy.
The this perhaps comes down to a third thing too: Being honest about your own feelings.
I also don't like it when others aren't honest to me about THEIR feelings. I don't get nasty with them though (or I at least try to) I just try to get them to be more honest with themselves, and in turn that makes them more honest with others too (including myself hopefully).
I don't care if people insult me for example - because it's honest. It doesn't bother. It's if they PRETEND to LIKE me that I don't like. If people want me to "fuck off" I want to be told. Because I hate talking to some one for ages while they pretend they're interested and/or like me and only for them to tell me to "fuck off" AFTERWARDS.
So as an example there - I would much rather an insulting truth (or MUCH rather, rather - cos I don't even care!) than something seemingly more positive that only turns out to be something negative that has been postponed because of emotional or intellectual dishonesty (or both).
Why aren't I bothered by insults? Because if the insult is TRUE then they are right and if anything I should be ashamed of myself (depending on how negative the insult is that actually holds true).
If they are WRONG and the insult is complete bollocks, why would I be offended? If it's nonsense I should just laugh at them..
IOW most importantly: I care about the truth and also intellectual honestly and feelings and empathy. But I also care about emotional honesty a lot. Being true to one's own feelings.
Cos it really sux imo - when the fact that when some people aren't true to their own feelings then that secrecy fucks up how they're behaving towards others, such as me for example. Because at least I would rather be told to go away ([i]however[/i rudely that is so long as it's nothing physical and it's only words) than have my time wasted putting up with their dishonesty lol.
